Funny how the mountain man’s enterprise has survived the last 26 years with no problems, health or otherwise. Yeah, I’m sure the lack of a septic tank miles up in the woods will really trickle down to towns below, yeah right. I envy this guy’s lifestyle. So do the bureaucrats which is why they want to destroy it.

This is basic public health--microbiology 101.
Wake up! Silliness is clouding your judgment.
